re: #508 Dr Lizardo

I actually enjoyed it. GotG was one of Marvel’s not-so-universally-known properties (like say, Captain America or The Avengers or Iron Man), and it was nice to see it get a feature film. Marvel took sort of a gamble on that one, and it paid off handsomely, both commercially and critically.

I have to hand it to Marvel, they’ve been doing solid work bringing their comic book characters to the silver screen. Better than DC, at least thus far.

Marvel’s success seems based on a production team grounded in Marvel comic lore. Warner/DC hasn’t quite figured that out yet.
